Blockbuster Alanis Morissette Album Kick-Started a Movement That Transcends Generations 17-Million-Selling Jagged Little Pill Features Five Hit Singles, Including 'You Oughta Know' and 'Ironic'1995 Record Presented in Audiophile Sound and Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Plays with Revealing ClarityWhen Alanis Morissette took aim at an ex who wronged her on the eviscerating 'You Oughta Know' in 1995, everything about the Top 10 song communicated it wasn't the usual narrative about love gone south. Or the typical wounded singer wallowing in self pity. Morissette, and both the lead single from and her entire American major- debut - the profoundly personal Jagged Little Pill - represented a sea change. They kickstarted a movement, one whose impact continues to echo throughout the mainstream nearly three decades later. Ranked the 69th Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone and included on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of 200 Definitive Albums, Jagged Little Pill remains more than a blockbuster that has sold more than 17 million copies in the U.S. and 33 million units worldwide. It's a statement, an attitude, a soundtrack for anyone seeking inspiration, an outlet, or permission to be themselves.Sourced from the original master tapes, housed in mini-LP style packaging, and strictly limited to 3,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's hybrid SACD of Jagged Little Pill presents the landmark effort in audiophile-grade sound for the first time. A key part of the record's appeal - Glen Ballard's smooth production - comes through with an openness, presence, and dynamic explosiveness that make the vocalist's songs that much more visceral. The singer's mezzo-soprano deliveries - the octave-rippling highs, dark-hued lows, dramatic crescendos, wispy reflections, occasional yodels - resonate with full-range ardor.
